Re: Angry about hedges!
Aha! Just had email from council. They are coming to look and sending a letter!They did ask if I could walk around there, told me number, to see if front was overgrown. I told them about the overladen fruit trees that are left to fall and the thousands of plum stones some little animal had been storing under my old shed. So seems like the garden is neglected.
They will hopefully offer help to the lady who lives there, although I hear someone cutting the grass sometimes, perhaps they could help.
I pointed out that I couldn't ask anyone to cut things back on my side as they would have to use a stepladder, too risky.
I just hope the owner doesn't take offence (or a gate).
Just the other two neighbours to sort out now!

Tess, a bit late perhaps, but this might be of interest to you?Did your council say anything about charging you for their services?

After checking, it seems you are right Dex.
I thought it could be considered stealing if you didn't return their greenery, but I was wrong.
Apparently you DO have to ask them if they want the cuttings back first, and if they say no, then you have to dispose of them yourself.

Can't wait for them to cut it back its getting ridiculous!
Good on you, Tess, well done and hope the neighbours comply now.
